Updated November 9, 2026. Dates come from the organizers and are checked against their official pages. Always confirm with the organizer before you travel.

Hangout Music Festival made Gulf Shores, Alabama a beach festival destination, with stages on the sand by The Hangout. It ran for years in May and was rebranded as Morgan Wallen’s Sand in My Boots in 2025. There was no festival in 2026. Gulf Shores officials said in December 2025 that producers didn’t have enough time to book acts after the city approved a two-year extension in late July 2025. The city says the event is approved for 2027, but no dates or lineup have been announced.
